Switch to Forms mode.  There is a Forms button at the top right in Windows.  There you can see all the forms in your return.  Click on a form in the left column to open it.  Then you can view it or print it.

go to the file tab and select print. a new window opens giving you a variety of options for what to see. select one. then click on the blue icon "preview print copy".  A new window opens that allows yo to scroll through what was selected. From here you can

1close the window.

2 save it as a PDF

3 print it 

4 with a Windows so you can even save it as an XPS file

I tried this Print button many times. It showed processing but when finished nothing happened. Now someone told me to switch to forms mode. It worked for me. Thank you for your response.
